Just a little story to show how acute and sensitive our pooches are…. Normal start to the day today, nothing out of the ordinary. I’m outside in the back garden and one of the ring circuit fuses trips in the main circuit board – I go and reset it and alls well. I have toContinue reading “Blog 2023-11-10”

Two years to the day …. If you have read our stories then you will know how the Marcus and Dad experience has evolved, grown and flourished. (If you haven’t then you need to read them! – consider it an education) If I look at how much my pooch has grown up and matured thenContinue reading “Blog 2023-10-14”

Some people should just NOT be allowed to have dogs (or even breathe fresh air!) Walking back home last night in our little residential close. About 50 yards away from a house and the front door opens and out comes a golden Labrador completely off lead. He sees me and Marcus and comes charging atContinue reading “Blog 2023-09-07”

No matter how preparedContinue reading “Blog 2023-04-14”

He was 5 months old and had been found abandoned in a roadside ditch in a plastic bag at approx 2 months old. It’s been an emotional rollercoaster what with oneContinue reading “Blog 2023-03-17”

Guess who’s back? Me luvs school, me really luvs school. The Jim and Amy school where we used to live was brilliant. Me used to get stickers. The new school we found where we live now is supercool. They gave me a certificate and flower a few months ago. Today they gave me a differentContinue reading “Blog 2022-11-12”

So – it’s been a year to the day… That a very nervous and reactive pooch was handed to me at stupid o’clock in the morning; he then decided that he needed to scent me with what seemed like a bucket full of wee. I suppose he was making sure the pooch world knew IContinue reading “Blog 2022-10-14”
